2024 Winter Juniors
2024 Winter Juniors
Congratulations to our 6 swimmer who swam last weekend in Greensboro, NC. The USA Swimming Winter Junior Championships is one of the very fastest 18 & U meets in the world and our Excel swimmers were fast!
With just over 60% lifetime bests, our team was WAY ahead of the full meet statistics, and the highest in our LSC.
Congratulations as well to our Coaches Steven and Andreea who, along with their staffs, were able to get swimmers to this level.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Each swim season can feel like a frantic rush so sometimes the Holidays sort of sneak up on me. And like many of you, the immediate lead up to Christmas can be the most hectic. But this upcoming week is special for many reasons and one that resonates with me, is that we will be able to pause our normal schedules and simply be with family.
So this week, enjoy the extra time with your loved ones and celebrate family traditions.

Want to become an official?
All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members. Meet officials
Ensure a safe and fair competition for all our athletes
